Subject[PATCH bpf-next v1 6/7] tools: bpftool: fix bpffs mount when pinning subdirectories
Date
From: Alban Crequy <alban@kinvolk.io>

When trying to pin at a path such as /sys/fs/bpf/subdir/mymap while the
bpffs is mounted at the standard path and the "subdir" directory didn't
exist, bpftool was failing and attempting to mount the bpffs on
/sys/fs/bpf/subdir/. The mount obviously failed, since "subdir" didn't
exist.

Commit 3fc27b71b894 ("tools: bpftool: try to mount bpffs if required for
pinning objects") says:

The code for mnt_bpffs() is a copy of function bpf_mnt_fs() from
iproute2 package (under lib/bpf.c, taken at commit 4b73d52f8a81), with
modifications regarding handling of error messages.

However, the function bpf_mnt_fs() from iproute2 only works when its
parameter is the root of the bpffs (e.g. "/sys/fs/bfs").

iproute2/tc actually only mounts at the standard path "/sys/fs/bfs" or
at the path from the environment variable $TC_BPF_MNT. This patch
implements a similar strategy but uses the environment variable name
$BPFTOOL_BPF_MNT.

This patch still will not do the mkdir automatically. But at least,
there will be no error message about the mount.

Fixes: 3fc27b71b894 ("tools: bpftool: try to mount bpffs if required for pinning objects")
